AUTUMN-WINTER 10-11 COLLECTION

On entering the universe EXPERIMENTAL COUTURE astonishments is the norm. You have to learn not to resign yourself to habit, disenchanted eyes and without looking for the "style" or "tendency" because it doesn't exist. Or it's not so fundamentally important anyway. Try to go beyond what you see and discover something totally different, carefully observe the work, what the reverse sides conceal, the linings, the construction, the cuts, (flaunting every rule in the sartorial book) that create unusual volume and a extremely modern silhouette. Buttons are the real main concept, not only like an accessory, but mainly is a functional part on the garment to shorten or extend; or to transform a garment into a totally diverse piece. The main concept is to bring out what we believe is going underneath and to bring in what is above. By example the vest sets upon and not underneath like we are used to, and a t-shirt that it takes generally underneath the dresses and/or jackets sets upon outer garments, creating like that a perfect external piece. Multi-Functional garments have been transformed in a wide range of new pieces, for example the dress that separating it obtains two different pieces: a vest and a skirt, thus in a garment can be obtained up to three. Padded coats that warm up like a down jacket, but fitting like a coat and setting off femininity and class. Garments what can be worn in different moments of the day, for modern women in constantly moving, that wishes a comfortable, elegant and versatile garment for any occasion.
